To repeat what I posted in your thread from October -
"While in the Moab area, don't miss Dead Horse Point State park and the Island in the Sky portions of Canyonlands National Park. Amazing views! Also the drive on UT 128 follows the Colorado River through a canyon that gives a feel for what being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon would look like. Coming from the east on I70, you could take route 128 to Moab, rather than route 191."
To add to the above, all of the viewpoints in Canyonlands are great, but don't miss Grandview Point. Upheaval Dome was also interesting. A short, but uphill hike to get there. Dead Horse Point State Park is a don't miss. In Arches, it's about 1/4 mile hike to stand under Double Arch, about a mile hike to Landscape Arch, which looks like it must fall at any second. Balanced Rock is a short stroll from the parking area.
At age 62 you can get the Senior Pass for free entrance to all National parks and half price camping.
